Slow Down!!

My week in Vegas was great. There's something special about the sights and sounds of Las Vegas. I think it has to do with the energy in the air. Driving from Hoover Dam about midnight, and rounding the mountain until you're almost in view of the city lights is remarkably full of excitement! You can see the glow of the city from about 70 miles away and you're just waiting and waiting for the white neon sign to rise up from over the mountains. A superficial manmade sunrise. We got our pictures taken with a real Vegas showgirl, dined at a fancy banquet at the Wynn Hotel and Casino, worked our tails off at the Zia booth at the Arabian Breeder's World Cup Horse Show, and even got to indulge a little In 'n Out burger.

The beginning of the set up.

















The final set up.


Brother and Sister all fancy.


I chatted with Deborah about San Miguel, Mexico, her beautiful jewelry, and life in New Mexico. Visit her webpage at www.deborahvaughndesigns.com if you're interested in some beautiful authentic jewelry for yourself or your wife!







We got home on Monday and I'm very thankful that I decided to go to the softball double header, because if I had been in bed at 10:30pm, I had a very good shot of being hit by the stray bullet that decided to fall out of the sky, through my bedroom roof, and land under my bed. Mom and Dad said they heard "something" but it wasn't until I got home and saw the pieces of ceiling on my bed that we panicked. Turns out it was a bullet, the hole in the roof confirmed it. The nice policeman that came by said that it was unlikely it would have killed me had I been laying there.
